D+
"Stormbreaker isn't a sour film, but it doesn't have a pulse; limping through extended action beats with cookie-cutter authority and often horrific direction."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

0/4
"Boring, empty, anticlimactic, uninspired and bankrupt of humanity."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C-
"Bland and formulaic, a kind of British Cody Banks without that movie's gaudily over-the-top elements and largely minus its humor."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/5
"There's so much potential within, but it's terribly squandered. And that's a real shame."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

2.5/5
"click to read full review in Greek"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

2/4
"If there's a pressing need for a teen version of James Bond-style spy tales, it's not apparent: Twelve-year-olds are already watching the real thing."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

C
"There's a lot of chasing around and some cool stunts, but it has a flat, draggy feel to it, some creepy moments of oddly insensitive interactions, and no sense of genuine enthusiasm or adventure."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/5
"Jamais parece reconhecer a pouca idade de seu herói, que age como adulto (e como espião experiente) na maior parte do tempo, o que, além de tornar tudo implausível, ainda resulta num filme aborrecidamente convencional."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

2/5
"Even more damaging is the inescapable fact that as the allegedly dashing and charming Alex, Pettyfer is a complete washout -- he is sullen, mush-mouthed and seems to spend the entire movie in the throes of a perpetual pout."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

3/5
"This whizzy adventure will keep pre-teens enthralled and adults quietly chuckling. But it's just not sophisticated enough."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

2.5/5
"An instantly forgettable confection that'll bore more kids than it entertains."  DVDTalk.com  Scott Weinberg

C+
"It's not much of a plot and TV veteran director Geoffrey Sax struggles with the big-screen demands of action scenes."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
